Men Go Through A Break-up And Literally Make It Everybody Else's Problem Smh 🫤 :

where the HELL did half of niragi's character go in the live action??

i absolutely LOVE niragi's catholic undertones throughout the alice in borderland manga, everyday i grieve the fact that the series had used the tunnel scene instead of the church scene for him, which i think contributed to the mass niragi mischaracterization in the side of the fandom that has not looked into the manga. his desires to be liked and feel wanted mentioned in the king of clubs not being present in the live action genuinely disappointed me- although admittedly harder to portray through cinematography, ill give them that, it could've worked just fine with a bit of monologue. he deserved more than a flashback and a one-liner. get this man some character development and an in depth character arc in season 3 STAT !!! although unredeemable, i need to see him represented for what he was in the manga :(

happy bday niragi ft. my math sketch

HI GAY BOY!!!

im gonna touch you next tuesday.

why does aib3 have to be coming out in SEPTEMBER of all months it better land on a break or something bc why does it have to be during the busiest time of the year for me. no saturdays, marching rehearsal multiple times a week, football games (aka 4 hours of sitting with my snare watching our team lose 0-40 and get 23 injuries AGAIN.) i hope i can still binge bc im not accepting having to not binge watch the show i set back my suicide for.

what do you think the adap butchered the most, compared to the manga? is there anything you think it did better, though? very curious since people have different takes on this

Definitely Niragi's character as well as the King of Diamonds ending. Niragi is self explanatory but the King of Diamonds ending pissed me off, making him decide the value of life even though his point was that he literally DIDN'T WANT TO. That got on my nerves I think they might've done the Tatta scene better ngl. Arisu finding him hit WAYYY harder than Tatta taking Arisu with him. It felt more shocking and it was more emotional that way, like the ominous slam of the containers followed by seeing Tatta's bloody hand was way more emotional to me than him straight up just asking. Thanks for the ask !!! This was a really good question ! :3

"those eyes of yours piss me off, its so condescending" so like niragi theres this river in egypt, i dont know if youve ever heard of it... its called de nile!! now say that real slow.

SINCE AIB S3 HAS BEEN OFFICIAL FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW...

EXPLANATION OF EACH THEORY ! 1. ann remembers everything - ann is the only one who remembers everything about the borderlands 2. banda and yaba are the jokers - due to there being 2 jokers in a card deck and banda and yaba being so persistent about living in the borderlands, it's theorized that these 2 will be the jokers 3. usagi's dad is the joker - his constant important-seeming appearances throughout the series despite being a minor character and the mountains surrounding shibuya in borderland has brought some viewers to theorize that he was the joker / game master 4. mira was telling another lie / it's all an illusion - the queen of hearts game is still ongoing and the hospital is another 'truth' 5. life / borderland is the joker itself - "life is just a game we play together, you should try to enjoy it" could support the theory that the joker 'game' is life itself 6. alice in borderland : RETRY - theory that the series will follow the manga sequel AIB : RETRY, where arisu is sent to the borderlands years in the future with a group of new players and must beat the 9 of hearts 7. alice on border road - theory that the series will follow the previous manga sequel alice on border road, where new characters are (intentionally ? idk if im mixing it w smthn else) put in borderlands, where they must walk from kyoto to tokyo. 8. arisu is the joker or / arisu AND usagi are the jokers - self explanatory, except im not sure of the reason behind this one other than the fact that they're main characters 9. the amnesia theory / the final game - based off of a fan game on tiktok where the hospital is the final game venue for a game called 'amnesia', where characters must recognize and escape with all the previous borderland players

Niragi Suguru : A Character Analysis

PRE-INTRO NOTE ! Hey Tumblr, guess who's back on a new account after 2 years since my dumbass accidentally deleted my original acc. What a shame.. Anyways ! I hope you all will enjoy my first work of 2025 ٭ INTRODUCTION Today im doing a character analysis on Niragi Suguru (from Alice in Borderland / 今際の国のアリス, of course). I will be using both series and manga references to get my point across. I've noticed that with the rise of AIB online, there are many strong opinions on characters, 'characters' being Niragi. I often see comments like "I hate Niragi" and "Bullying doesn't justify what he did to Usagi." and fairly, I agree ! I don't think that what Niragi experienced when he was younger gives him a get out of jail free card for every wrongdoing. Though while it isn't an excuse, it is a reason. NIRAGI SUGURU : BASIC CHARACTER BREAK DOWN Niragi Suguru- at first glance he's a violent, overly confident, gun obsessed freak beach executive. Throughout both the manga and series, Niragi has been known to be aggressive, threatening, and an overall asshole. Though, with a little bit of research, his story proves him to be more than just the sadistic villain he's represented as.

In 10 of Hearts / Witch Hunt, (!Manga) Niragi purposely riles up the beach in order to make the game more entertaining for himself. Usagi claims he's not even an animal (as she claimed he was before in the well-known sexual assault scene that I honestly will NOT bother explaining unless necessary). Niragi then replies to this by saying that "It's predisposition- man, left to his own devices.." Niragi mentions something similar to this when he is assaulting Usagi, noting that rape, murder, and other acts of indecency are illegal because they are all part of human nature. This shows us a lot more of his character than most people will even bother to look into. Just by these dialogues, we can tell that Niragi believes we should revel in our true human nature, boasting our human behavior whether it's disgusting or not. PSYCHOLOGY OF NIRAGI SUGURU According to nu.edu, human behavior is learned, affected by the environment one lives in. 'Environment' being this.

Niragi grew up being constantly bullied and abused by his classmates. This had serious effects on his self image and development, these events taking a toll on his behavior even years later in the borderlands. Niragi referencing his bully telling him "I told you targets don't move." during the Witch Hunt. v

His behavior was learned from his bullies, who he mimicked later in life in order to gain self confidence and feel like he was in power. Niragi's actions and behavior were created and carried out in a desperate attempt to feel like he deserved the abuse he endured when he was younger. In season 2, episode 2 of the live action series during King of Clubs / Osmosis, he states the following during a flashback to his childhood; "I don't know if they hated me because I was twisted, or if I became twisted because they hated me." It's proved in the manga that Niragi became twisted because they hated him (Chapter 23)

^ He claims that he'd be miserable unless he changed. He became a terrible person with the intent to feel like he deserved everything that he had to experience prior to his adulthood. He thrives on destroying himself and other people's views of him. "I'm going to make everyone wish they never met me." (Somewhere in season 2..) + "I'll continue living, despised by others. I will continue to incur hate, and hold my head up high as I go to Hell!!" (Chapter 54) Also in chapter 54, he winds up in a church and cites a scripture (?) about Jesus. He says this;

In this scene, I believe Niragi is reflecting on his outcome of experiencing hatred compared to Jesus. Jesus was despised by his peers, which Niragi relates to, as he was bullied relentlessly. Though the thing that separates Jesus from Niragi is that Jesus was loved for years and years after his abuse. Niragi never got that kind of treatment- he had nobody to care for him nor love him. My theory is that he continued to be hated and uncared for even after the bullies were done with him, leading him to believe that he must have been twisted and that's why nobody wanted to help him.

This is what separates Niragi from his peers. Despite acting so terribly, he's separated from his bullies because unlike his bullies he became terrible to feel like he deserved everything. He's different from practically everyone else he knows because of his terribleness. In Chapter 56, the seventh day of exhibitions, Niragi sorta talks on this topic.

I also note that he follows the line with "You're lucky you're on the side of the populace." I think that Niragi is heavily referencing his differences with other people in this scene. It's possible that he may be referring to the fact that if everyone was like him, they would all be victims, making Arisu the perpetrator. It's also possible that he's referring to the fact that he doesn't believe in kindness (especially not kindness at heart) but realizes that there really isn't anyone like him as Arisu and his gang showed him kindness despite what Niragi put them through. There are a lot of different theories for this and they all seem to point towards Niragi feeling something deeply wrong with him, not his actions, but him as a person. CONCLUSION Niragi wasn't meant to be just a villain. He isn't just meant to be the guy you dread every time you see him on the screen. He's meant to represent what happens when someone is dehumanized. With each baseball strike, the more he was reduced to scum. Trash. By the time he was grown up he had known no empathy nor experienced it, given or received. In the universe of Alice in Borderland, whether you humiliated him or ignored him, Niragi is the villain, sure. But if there were 7 billion of him, the evil one would be you.

Still don't get it?? Compare Niragi to "Pigs" by Tyler, the Creator. Very similar concept.

Well that's time, see you next week :) [Or not] Feel free to leave suggestions !
